Licking Thicket, Book 5

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Lane’s Tips for Licking Thicket Newcomers

If at all possible, find yourself a hot and helpful landlord like Jaybird Proud who mows the lawn shirtless… and hope your grass grows quickly.

Expect the unexpected at work. If you’re a veterinarian, this might mean letter-cows, pet pigs that aren’t pets, and Butterscotch the Pomeranian, who has Strong Feelings about his glands.

Offer your help around town when needed… especially when that gorgeous landlord knocks on your door because his (pea)cock won’t stop displaying.

Learn about local customs, including: matchmaking, leaving Italian Gentlemen on the doormat, ordering tater tots, and entwining dead vines into wreaths as a sign of true love.

Get your car washed on the regular… especially when your landlord is the one doing the scrubbing.

Above all, keep things casual, even when Jay ends up at your place every night. And every morning. And the occasional afternoon.

But when you find yourself falling for someone like Jaybird Proud (and life in his weird and wonderful town), let go of everything you thought you wanted… and Entwine that Thicketeer forever.

Licking Thicket!!!

If you've read/ listened to the other books in this series, you know what you're in for. I absolutely adore this small town and seeing everyone in everyone else's business. Lane and Jaybird are fun. It does take them a minute to figure out what they mean to each other, but the townsfolk are definitely pulling for them. This whole series is a lot of fun and definitely worth a read or two or three.

love Licking Thicket

Lennox and Archer have created another Charming book to the licking Thicket set. I hope they keep on coming, this one was too short! I think those of us that love this quirky little town just want more. good characters and laugh out loud Chuckles. of course Michael Dean is a huge component to the success. his narration just gets better and better.

This duo can do no wrong.

The story is so sweet and the narration makes you melt. These stories can not come out fast enough.
